DESCRIPTION



This proposal changes the restriction on cooperative marketing associations dealing with non-members. The proposal states that the association shall do at least 25% of its business with its members. The restriction is changed in Section 274.060, RSMo which deals with Cooperative Marketing Associations and the definition Section 409.401, RSMo, dealing with securities. Currently, cooperative marketing associations are required to do a majority of business with members.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
